Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Rwby. Enjoy the 800- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale)
Neo walked over the rubble of the numerous buildings, using her umbrella to stop herself from falling over.
"Roman…" Neo whispered, Vale was damaged, it would heal. She wouldn't…. Just like all the people who died in the city.
Roman, to many? He was just a crime lord, someone who caused nothing but damage, misery, and death. He was her friend though, her partner and her protector… Now he was just more food with the Grimm, food they didn't need… All because of Cinder Fall.
"Hands up, lady." Neo heard, she turned and glared at a random thug, not one who worked for Junior. He was just another nameless crook. She glared at him, her brown and pink eyes narrowing.
"Back off…" Neo growled, she reached for the button on her umbrella for the sword on it. Neo looked at the man waiting for her to walk away and get the damn pistol out of her face.
He didn't, Neo thumbed the button as he went to shoot her in the stomach. Neo easily swept the gun with the handle of her umbrella aside as the gun fired, shattering a window.
Neo turned and stabbed through the man, dropping him to the ground, and then she brushed off her coat and walked down the street. She wasn't in the mood for the criminals of the city to be bothering her….
She wanted to leave, then she heard a distinct sound… It was the sound of Roman's signature weapon: Melodic Cudgel.
She rushed towards the sound, she knew the whistle over and over, it was the sound of a flare being launched from the cane.
She turned to see a Beowolf… And a pack of Creeps, she quickly popped the blade out of Bittersweet and dodged the swipe of the Beowolf.
She then stabbed a Creep while she flipped off its head to throw herself at the Beowolf. She kicked the Beowolf onto a sharp piece of rubble which pierced through the Beowolf and killed the Grimm.
She turned to look at the Grimm before the sound of Melodic Cudgel before one of the Creeps exploded into bits.
"Damn it, I forgot this thing has a kick…." Neo heard; she watched the Creeps go to attack the holder of the cane. The figure lifted Melodic Cudgel and blasted one of the Creeps before Neo stabbed the other creep.
"Hmm…" The figure said as he leaned on Melodic Cudgel, it was then she noticed that the figure wasn't Roman.
She saw the figure adjust his charcoal coat, he had black gloves, whiteish boots, and a blackish shirt under that.
"I swear, these things are more annoying than bugs… I can't believe how many they are, even after all the ones I killed…" The boy muttered, she frowned, and then she looked and saw that he was holding Melodic Cudgel.
"My name's Desmond. You look new, you fine or did they rough you up?" Desmond asked, he leaned on Melodic Cudgel and then looked around at the buildings while he looked around buildings.
"You, ok? You don't talk much, don't you?" Desmond asked, Neo frowned, Desmond looked and then shrugged before he walked away and into the smoke.
"Humph!" Neo hissed in annoyance while she followed Desmond, he rested the cane on his shoulder and looked at her before shrugging and motioning for him to follow him, he hummed before looking at her over his shoulder.
"You have a name, or should I just guess for you?" Desmond asked, he brushed off his coat while swinging the cane around while he tapped the cane on the ground and then turned to look at Neo.
"Neo," Neo stated, Desmond, hummed and then smiled and nodded.
"Ok then, Neo is an awesome name… Well, c'mon, time is money. I have a lot to do and I'm sure you don't have to be out… Unless your blocking rain." Desmond joked, Neo sighed and then bopped him on the head.
Desmond rubbed his head and turned to look at her, he rolled his eyes and then looked at her hat.
"Cool hat, whoever wore it had great taste," Desmond stated, Neo nodded. She didn't know who Desmond was… But she would find out.
Desmond looked and smiled at her, and she felt something familiar.
Author Note
Phew, the first chapter is done! Yes, this chapter is short, the next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out this story will majorly change Neo's arc. Desmond I'll explain next chapter. The next chapter will show Desmond and Neo talking and will show Desmond's plan. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
